Quick update. The 5 Customers affected have been contacted and I am keen to get the last few deliveries from yesterday sorted asap.
Yesterday my foot got worse quite quickly and i had to stop delivering as i could not drive or even get my shoe back on.

Thanks for everyones help unloading the van today and yesterday.
Yesterday morning on my first drop i hurt my ankle. When i stepped out of the van and stood awkwardly on a kerb edge. I woke this morning to a lot of bruising. But keeping going with all the deliveries.
Just another adversity to deal with this week.

Hi Proviv Herpers

I have not posted for a while due to being so mega busy at the moment.
Here are a few updates, i have for the first time in a long time, got a full-time member of staff. This is thanks to the huge number of orders that have consistently come in this year.
Update on Emily she is starting to improve, we discovered she had a fractured sternum following her school bus crash.
I am currently not taking on any special orders for special sizes. Whilst i am this busy, it has led to errors and complications.
Over the next 3 weeks, we are on track to get back on top of orders.
If you have emailed me and not got a repsonce, please check your spam messages. If i have received your message it has been replied to. If you have not got a repsonce and nothing in your spam, then message me here on messenger, your emails are not making it through to me. It still amazes me the number of people who believe that because they have sent an email, it must have been received and just ignored.
Sizes and prices are all available on my website www.provivs.co.uk

Hi
Proviv Herpers.

As many of you know my daughter was involved in the bus crash that was in the national news last week.
Emily, now 14 not 5 like she was when she was building the viv in my pinned post, was sat in the front, on the top deck directly above the driver.
Luckly she has escaped with minor injuries and is doing well.
Thanks to all the emergency services for their help dealing with the incident.
As you can imagine this has impacted my work, but trying to keep disruption to a minimum.
Thanks to everyone who has sent kind messages.
***edit update: we have discovered that Emily has suffered a fractured sternum, which is the cause of her pain.****

A spokesperson for bus operator Ellie Rose said about 40 children were on board. Read more: https://bbc.in/4hq7BD1

Hi Proviv Herpers.

Not a great start to the year. But hopefully everyrhing will be sorted by the end of the day.
The cold weather and poor road conditions meant that the deliveries i planned for last week are postponed to this week.
Last week the shutter also broken thanks to for fixing it today.
Also had to do a repair on my edgebander and multiborer. It has been a week.
Thenks to everyone for bearing with me whilst i get everything sorted.

Hi Proviv Herpers

I hope you all enjoyed your break.
Today is my first day back at work after the new year. I do not often take an extended break, but due to being so ill before and during Christmas, I needed a bit of time.
Please bear with me whilst i get on top of the mountain of emails and messages i have received. 2024 was an epic year for Provivs and hoping that 2025 is even better.
All the sizes and prices are on my website www.provivs.co.uk

Hi Proviv Herpers
I hope you are all enjoying your break.
A week before Christmas I was quite ill with a flu type illness, it really knocked me for 6. Feeling a bit better now so heading back into the warehouse in a couple of days.
I have some exciting new materials for the new year and planning on adding these over the next few days to my website. A new wood colour which looks fantastic (I am still trying to think of a name for it) and concrete grey.
Remember i also supply all heating, lighting, control and decor etc the picture shows a huge order for stat i recently received.

Hi Proviv Herpers

Just a quick heads up. Over the next week, I will be working on revising my prices. I am currently sitting on a number of price increases, having not put my prices up for over a year.
29% increase in my rent following a new landlord and some renovation of my unit.
Increases in material costs across the board ranging from 6% to 14%
Increases in minimum wage.
Basically, everything has gone up, and now i need to pass on some of that increase.
I will also be adding lots of new products to my website over the next few weeks.
Thanks for your continued support it is greatly appreciated.
